Munson's a good comparison, who also does well in the prime years ratings. Minus a couple MVP's, Campanella's MLB career could also be argued to be a decent comparison to Posey.
Even with 3 MVP's and a strong Negro League background, it took Campanella at least 5 tries to get into the HOF.
Catching is tough!
My first instinct was that Posey was a no-brainer for the HOF. Might not be as cut and dry as I thought, re-looking back at his total career stats.

Posey ranks 10th in WAR7. Munson 8th.
I see them both getting in.....Eventually
